Abstract

preparing an edited volume on the concerns/challenges of Turkish environmental politics and also e learned lessons, new perspectives, and solutions with the tentative title “Environmental Politics in Turkey: Addressing the Concerns and Challenges.” The book is intended to provide a notable contribution to environmental scholarship in Turkey through high-quality, interdisciplinary papers, which can be used not only as a valuable information source but also as tools to support teaching and research and, as an added value, help to assist in decision-making. It particularly focuses on the key themes of Turkish environmental politics to conceptualize the concerns/challenges. While covering all aspects of Turkish environmental politics today, it improves the research through the studies on how to understand the lessons learned till to date, and with a prospective academic perspective, on how to advance and solve them by well-argued new perspectives/alternative ways. The chapters of the book are expected to evaluate the development of Turkish environmental law and its institutional capacity, to discuss the concerns, challenges and management methods regarding key themes of environmental politics such as air pollution; marine pollution; water pollution; solid and/or hazardous waste; the protection of flora and fauna including the matters of land degradation, deforestration, wetlands, biodiversity; agricultural policy; urban planning and green/sustainable cities; Turkey’s energy strategy and its impact on environment and raising new concepts like environmental security/environmental justice. Works on learned lessons, new perspectives and solutions are particularly welcome. These works can involve the prospective debates/perspectives on the challenges of implementation, compliance and enforcement; the EU accession period and its impact on environmental politics; environmental governance; enhancing participation; environmental education; environmental movements, NGOs; impacts on economy; renewable energy and green technologies; climate change adaptation/mitigation and financial challenges. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit, a 500 words clearly explaining the contribution and findings/arguments of his/her proposed chapter. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. The book is intended to be published by Springer within Hexagon Series on Human and Environmental Security and Peace.
